Explanation by: Admin

Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, meaning they do not have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, nucleus, or Golgi apparatus. Instead, they generate energy through their plasma membrane, where enzymes involved in cellular respiration are located.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

  • (A) Many → Incorrect, as bacteria lack mitochondria.
  • (B) Two → Incorrect, since no mitochondria are present in bacteria.
  • (D) One → Incorrect, because bacteria do not have even a single mitochondrion.

Thus, the number of mitochondria in a bacterial cell is zero (0).
